Embedding fonts in a PDF file (ps2pdf)

[l***@gmail.com]

Hi everyone,

I need to send an article for a conference, and apparently I must embed
all the fonts used in the PDF file. I already formated the article and
generated the final PDF, but there are some fonts that aren't embedded.
These fonts are:

Helvetica, Times-Bold, Times-BoldItalic, Times-Italic,Times-Roman

All True Type, and according to Acrobat Reader the Enconding is Custom
(??). What could be the problem? I'm generating the file using:

latex mypaper.tex
dvips -Ppdf -G0 -tletter mypaper.dvi
ps2pdf mypaper.ps mypaper.pdf

Any ideas?

Try dvips -Pdownload35 ...
Try ps2pdf14 ...
Try telling us what the dvips output is.
Try telling us which distribution and version you're using.

Don't just ask questions that could be answered in a 100 ways; give us
some information.

You know: Usenet is not write only. There is a parallel thread titled
"urgent: embed all fonts in PDF" that discusses almost the same
question.

There are options for GhostScript's ps2pdf that make it embed all fonts.
For me,

ps2pdf -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress <IN>.ps <OUT>.pdf

works. See also the above mentioned thread.
